Tower T17086 Vortx 5 in 1 Air Fryer and Grill with Crisper, 5.6L, Black

Product Information

There's a button on the top the display to turn on the internal light and take a look, which means you won't have to open the door to take a peek.

This means that somewhere on the item small scratches or blemishes may be visible and the boxes may be tatty or non original and will have been opened and re-taped so that items can be tested. The built-in Vortx technology circulates air rapidly around the fryer, needing no more than a drop of oil to produce evenly-cooked results and fresh, crispy textures.So if that’s predominantly what you want an air fryer for, we’d suggest coughing up a bit more for a premium model such as the Ninja Foodi Dual Zone. It required no additional prep or basting while cooking, either, making it a relatively fuss-free experience. The body looks and feels cheap, and the see-through hinged door, which opens outward, is a tad flimsy. However, removing the shelves can be fiddly and if you cook across various levels, some things will cook faster than others.

Editorial independence means being able to give an unbiased verdict about a product or company, with the avoidance of conflicts of interest. Air fryers are a healthier option over frying for crisping food, allowing you to use less oil during cooking. You can manually programme the machine using the digital keypad, but there are automated settings for the most popular dishes which we could do with just the touch of a button. After a few minutes, some halloumi had already fallen off the skewers, forming a layer at the bottom of the drip tray. Broccoli was another winner in the Tower Vortex, with the ultra spacious design leaving space for so many Tenderstem stalks.On the whole, the resulting chips came were nicely browned and crispy on the outside, with a few pale bits, and fluffy on the inside.

The trays also mean you can get away with not flipping certain food, although you might still want to do this to achieve even browning. Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations June 2014 you have a duty to take reasonable care of Products whilst they are in your possession. The door becomes covered with grease after a few uses, so you'll need to clean the inside as you would a standard oven. After 15 minutes at 180°C, having rotated the corn on occasion during cooking, it was evenly golden and starting to shrivel slightly.Having said that, this problem is unlikely to occur with thicker-textured foods, such as meat; most of the veg stayed on the skewers until the end.
